Description

From the existing documentation projects on https://docs.cor-lab.org extract the installation instructions for the different mechanisms and OSes. Make these instructions generic with respect to the actual software project that shall be installed. For each of the methods provide a single rst file in the tutorial project explaining the installation steps.

The current idea is to take descriptions like "Installing the Debian packages" out of, for example, the rsb-manual and turn them into templates.

We decided that the initial set of generalized installation descriptions should include

  • PyPi
  • Debian packages
  • Maven

Our existing installation instructions are written for specific projects. For example, the instructions for Robotics Service Bus contain sentences like

Checkout RSB and its immediate dependencies from “0.11” branch of https://code.cor-lab.org/git/rsb.git.java.

For project-independent instructions, such a sentence has to be changed to make it applicable to arbitrary projects. This will be a difficult problem.
